Timberlake: 'I'm Not Pregnant'

Justin Timberlake joked that he's not pregnant to Jay Leno, and his best pal says he's not getting married anytime soon.
Pregnancy may be the newest Hollywood trend (enter Jessica Alba, Ashlee Simpson, Jamie Lynn Spears, the list goes on...), but Justin Timberlake isn't jumping on that bandwagon.
The pop singer appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Tuesday night, where he squashed rumors that he might be engaged to girlfriend Jessica Biel - or pregnant, for that matter.
"Am I engaged? In what?" Timberlake joked to Leno, "I'm engaged in a conversation with you." He took the joke even further, insisting, "I'm not pregnant."
And Timberlake's longtime pal, Trace Ayala, told Usmagazine.com that the "SexyBack" singer isn't getting married anytime soon.
"I hope so," Ayala said when asked if Timberlake and Biel would tie the knot. He added, "To be honest, I don't see them in the future, but I hope so. I really do."
Ayala, for one, is pulling for a Timberlake/Biel union: "It is not just her, it is also him when he is with her — it is awesome," he told the magazine. "They are just awesome together. She is just a great girl."

Stalled Spears Memoir Set For Autumn Release

The memoir Lynne Spears was forced to put on hold when her youngest daughter Jamie Lynn got pregnant last year now has a release date.

Spears had almost completed the book, about raising her famous daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn, when the teenager revealed she was expecting her first child.
The news and the furor which followed prompted Lynne to shelve her book plans, but now the tome will hit stores this autumn, according to publishers Thomas Nelson.
A spokesman for the company insists Spears never stopped working on the book: "She wants to express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother's eyes."
The book will be titled Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, and it's expected to include all the Spears family drama from 2008 as well as Lynne's experiences as a first-time grandmother.

Ne-Yo Crushing on Alicia Keys

R&B cat Ne-Yo has developed a crush on tourmate Alicia Keys but fears she has no idea he's smitten with her.

The "So Sick" singer admits he hasn't been obvious with his feelings for the R&B beauty.
The pair are currently on the road in the U.S. as part of the As I Am tour, alongside former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks.
He says, "I don't think she knows... When we're passing each other in the halls, I'm like, 'Hey Alicia.'
"I just think she's a beautiful person, inside and out. I mean she's gorgeous...and she's smart and she has a huge heart. She's the total package."
But Ne-Yo feels sure that her friends and bandmates all know how he feels about the sexy singer because of his gestures towards her when she's not looking: "She don't see me do it... I know because I watch her walk away."

Madonna's Brother To Pen Tell-All Memoir

Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone plans to release a tell-all memoir about his superstar sibling - set to be published without the singer's permission.

Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone plans to release a tell-all memoir about his superstar sibling - set to be published without the singer's permission.
Ciccone, 47, is penning the tome with infamous celebrity biographer Wendy Leigh, who has written intimate biographies on Liza Minnelli and Grace Kelly - and is due to be released next month.
The book, published by Simon & Schuster, is reportedly: "Ciccone's extraordinary memoir is based on his life and 47 years of growing up with and working with his sister - the most famous woman in the world."
However, the book is allegedly set to be released without the Material Girl star's consent, with the star's publicist Liz Rosenberg stating: "Madonna has not cooperated with any biography about herself."
Madonna's relationship with her younger brother is said to have become strained in recent years, even though the pair worked together intimately in the early 1990s, with Ciccone serving as artistic director on the star's 1991 documentary In Bed With Madonna, and designing and directing her Girlie Show tour in 1993.

Jennifer Lopez Drops By Obama's DC Office

Rumors are circulating that Lopez may be penning a song for the Presidential hopeful.

J-Ho reportedly dropped by presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama's Washington office for a meeting.
"I'm not ready to do any press yet," Lopez told The Hill Wednesday when asked what she was doing in the area.
The Washington political newspaper said rumors are circulating that Lopez may be penning a song for the Illinois senator.
The security detail guarding the presidential hopeful's door doubled from two to four during the course of the meeting.
After 90 minutes, an Obama staffer opened the door and told the crowd that had gathered outside, "She's gone," explaining she left the building with less fanfare than she entered.

LIL’ WAYNE DOES IT BIG WITH CARTER III

Lil’ Wayne is probably going to get the last laugh. The lil’ guy made quite a few mad after he dissed the DJ population. All that controversy might have helped his stature in the general population. Based on early sales trends, he is looking to push like 850,000 to 950,000 albums in his first week sales. WOW! If he hits those marks, he would have sold more than both Usher and Mariah Carey combined and have the highest debut this year. The reviews have been mixed but sales is what ultimately matters for Universal Records. Click here to read the AHH review of The Carter III.
Also, I have to commend Cash Money as an organization for not suing any of the alleged bootlegger DJs…what happens in the street is another thing. Still they did their thing on this one…wow.

HOW WAYNE CELEBRATED THE CARTER III

Well peoples, on 06/10/08 the good folk of the Hip-Hop community finally reached the day when owning the Carter III wasn't criminal; or at least unethical. Also, on that day we figured out Lil Wayne wasn't in re-hab (unless he took the 8-hour speed course) because he was gallivanting across the lovely state of Maryland celebrating the release of his latest and, according to some, greatest album. So, from what I've heard there was a concert at The 1st Mariner Arena and then an after party at a club called Sonar, both in downtown Baltimore. And well……. I don't know what you were expecting, but I deal in real. And the real is what my homes slices got (Who luvs ya B-More). Following a watch that would make CP time mad, he showed up over an hour late for the performance, brought a bus load of his best friends on stage and sounded a lil, a dash, a weeny bit, a tad……inebriated. If you get high off that syrup are you high or are you drunk? Hmmm…… Anyway, I was told his performance was so-so but the crowd didn't trip and all was well in the land of Wires and Corners and Homicide. I did not hear if he made it to Sonar. But I really hope he did, because standing in the vestibule was setting folks back $30.00. But as soon as I know, you know.
